lyrics

Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber
Past the wan-mooned abysses of night
I have lived o'er my lives without number
I have sounded all things with my sight
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright

I have whirled with the earth at the dawning
When the sky was a vaporous flame
I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim


I had drifted o'er seas without ending
Under sinister grey-clouded skies
That the many-forked lightning is rending
That resound with hysterical cries
With the moans of invisible daemons, that out of the green waters rise

I have scanned the vast ivy-clad palace
I have trod its untenanted hall
Where the moon rising up from the valleys
Shows the tapestried things on the wall


I was old when the pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-decked throne by the Nile
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile

Oh, great was the sin of my spirit,
And great is the reach of its doom;
Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,
Nor can respite be found in the tomb


-Adapted from "Nemesis" from H.P. Lovecraft
